Nathan Long updated KAFKA-7674: ------------------------------- Description: I'm following the [Apache Kafka Quick Start Guide]([https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart]) exactly, using [the release linked at the top]([https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/kafka/2.0.0/kafka_2.11-2.0.0.tgz]), which is versioned as "kafka_2.11-2.0.0.tgz". At "Step 3: Create a Topic", it says to run this to create a topic: bin/kafka-topics.sh --create --zookeeper localhost:2181 \ --replication-factor 1 --partitions 1 --topic test The next step is to list the existing topics: bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181 The documentation shows that `test` should be listed. The list command returns no output for me. I'm using the default configuration with `log.dirs=/tmp/kafka-logs`, and looking in that directory, I see no change when I run the command above to create a topic, even though the command exit status is 0. When I publish the first message to the topic, I see it fail to send the message, then successfully retry after the topic is auto-created. I'm then able to see the message when I run the console consumer: bin/kafka-console-consumer.sh --bootstrap-server \ localhost:9092 --topic test --from-beginning I also do now see the topic as a directory in `/tmp/kafka-logs`. But even though the topic now clearly exists, when I list topics, it still finds nothing: bin/kafka-topics.sh --list --zookeeper localhost:2181 I don't know if this is a documentation problem or a bug, but I get no errors when running any of these commands, it seems like a bug. was: I'm following the [Apache Kafka Quick Start Guide]([https://kafka.apache.org/quickstart]) exactly, using [the release linked at the top]([https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/kafka/2.0.0/kafka_2.11-2.0.0.tgz]), which is versioned as "kafka_2.11-2.0.0.tgz".
